the sm353cE.V2 has a large cutting capacity making it ideal for Industrial and Agricultural engineering applications. A
24V system for
coolant pump and motor controls gives added safety to the operator.
the bandsaw is not suitable for cutting wood and, if used for this purpose, the insurer will not provide coverage.
the saw arm is fitted with hydraulic damping to prevent it being dropped onto the workpiece and to ensure a smooth cutting performance.
the heavy-duty single phase electric motor has an over-current sensor to cut the power in the event of blade jamming.
the saw is manufactured to comply with supply of machinery (safety) regulations 1992 (s.I.3073) and is fully cE approved.
